I've always loved the wintry looking sunset. Beautiful!
Sounds like you had such a fun day yesterday! Hope you're stay warm as well!
Happy Birthday to your nephew and your MIL!
:lol:
Whoa! Tha blows my mind! My daughter tried to explain Harry Potter and Hermione using the time go backy thingy but I still can't understand where the first event, before they altered the past, disappears to.
It becomes non-existent. Whether time travel were possible or not, it's not a documented fact so the assumption is that if you were to travel back in time to alter an event, to change an outcome of something you didn't like, that you would still be aware of your hand in the matter when you return to the present. The moment in time becomes altered and therefore no longer truth, but you are aware of it, because the present you was the one who went back to change it. There is no place for it to disappear "to," because it then, in fact, never existed.
We assume time as we know it exists, because of the rotation of the earth which allows for us to either be facing or turning or away from the sun. We mark our time by the appearances of daylight and darkness. So while you celebrated New Year's Day, to most of us on this site, nearly a half day sooner than us, we are all existing at the same moment and only man's explanation of time as we mark it on clocks and calendars differentiates in whose past we are living.
I always thought the concept of time travel was interesting and more conjecture, because of that fact. Unless you knew the exact time and moment and time zone, if you were traveling from a different time zone you would end up on the day, but several hours off of your target. Unless of course you had the Star Trek transporter, which could do everything correctly all the time.
We watched an old episode of Star Trek several weeks ago on Retro. Bud said, "Oh my gosh - the communicator - it looks like my cell phone from four years ago! Man, these guys have got to get with the times!" LOLAnd with that... will someone please beam me up? I'd like to go to Christmas morning, 1976 please. 351 Highview St, Pittsburgh, PA. Feeling nostalgic for the pink tea set I got that year and the Snoopy snowcone machine and Snoopy Electric toothbrush. Guess Santa figured I needed the toothbrush after all the snowcones. That was the Christmas my dad let me sled down the big hill in the valley by myself for the first time after we opened our presents. Good memory.

The topic of time travel is very interesting!
What a magical memory of Christmas 1976
Thanks for sharing it with us.Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
ROFL yeah I thought the same thing. They basically fired him two weeks later when he preached something that the eldest deacon didn't agree with. It's been years now and that church never took on another pastor per-say. They only allow the deacons to conduct services. Speh-shul. LOL

That is SO funny about the way the dogs respond to Burl Ives' voice!!
Sorry to hear you had such a hectic busy day. Listen to that Christmas music and take a breather when you can. I wish you success on your trip.

Good evening MMC!!
Well I started the morning reading and thanking the posts and then --- the world knocked on my door. LOL
Noah is teaching at a seminar on the 16th in Sarasota. I won't be here. We found out around 8:30am that the person who is hosting this four-day seminar has only lightly marketed it and didn't do any individual marketing for the speakers individually. Noah's classes weren't full so we had to drop everything and spend the morning and early afternoon doing manic marketing, blog posts and social media.
Was almost finished with that and suddenly there was a major snafu with Bud's Dropbox and YouTube channels and several hours of footage. Three hours later and I now have that under control. *phew*
Right now - I'm sick of looking at my laptop and I didn't have time to take down any decorations. I'm going to start that in just a few minutes. I need to have it all done and put away before I leave town on Friday.
Hope everyone is doing well, no more black ice incidents or slips and you're all keeping warm.
I also learned today that my dogs associate Burl Ives' voice with cookies or treats. LOL The Pandora channel I choose ends up having a number of Burl Ives renditions and much of the speaking portions of Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer (Rankin/Bass version). It played today and suddenly they were all there at my feet, tails wagging. I thought, "What in the world are they doing?"
About an hour later it happened again with a different song and verbal piece, still Burl Ives. When it happened yet again a bit later, I deliberately put the movie on to see if they would do it again. Sure enough - Burl Ives' voice came on and there they were, happy as could be. Too cute! My dogs are Christmas-ites.
Hope you all have a great evening! If I don't pop in again this evening and get caught up - I'll catch up tomorrow. If nothing else, surely on the long drive on Colorado when Bud's in the driver's seat.
